Happy Thursday ladies and gents!
Last night I, along with Chef Roblé, Bridget Kelly, Sessilee Lopez, Daisy Lewellyn, Johnny Nunez, and Jennifer Williams, received Rolling Out Mirror Mirror awards for our contributions to the entertainment industry!
Tyson Beckford and Toya Wright hosted the event, which included a performance by Bridget Kelly, a cocktail hour, and a short awards ceremony.
Take a look at a few flicks from the evening:

Chef Roblé and Al Reynolds
Jennifer Williams in Zara and Christian Louboutin
Christina Brown of Love Brown Sugar
Munson Steed of Steed Media

Of course I can’t accept any award without acknowledging the superior work of Fashion Bomb writers Jihan, Cliché, and Faith, who rolled through to show their support:
They’ve lent their time, talent, and brilliance to helping make this site a must visit for any fashionista. I couldn’t be more thankful for their contributions!
In my speech, I also made sure to thank you vocal, opinionated, and often hilarious readers for visiting our humble site. Those who have been around since 2006 have witnessed the growth–we couldn’t do it without you!
This…and much more to come…!
Smootches!

Outfit info: Sunhee Dress. Noir Beaded Sabat Necklace. Jimmy Choo Abel Gold Pumps. YSL Belle du Jour Metallic Leather Clutch.
*Jihan and Cliché busied themselves gathering newsy tidbits from the night’s attendees. Stay tuned for the scoop.

Well deserved Claire, Congratulations! and you look AMAZING… I love everything about your ensemble. You definitely need to keep this hairstyle… it rocks!
December 13, 2012 9:47 am
Claire u look lovely in your dress u r a very pretty girl and those good looking men are lucky to be taking pixs with u but i am going to call u out for the sweaty armpits Girl u know the world gonna see these pixs……….
Siseely or whatever , she needs a padded bra.
whats with the bolero on toya?
December 13, 2012 9:47 am
Everyone looks great, wonderful, yada, yada, yada…..but TYSON! That man will be in the casket and still got it. Claire you look like you be grabbing his butt, or that could be just my wishful thinking. Either way, I’m not mad.
December 13, 2012 9:48 am
Cute looks and Congratulations on the award.
December 13, 2012 9:55 am

December 13, 2012 10:01 am
We had so much fun! Congrats again Claire! Oh and praise Jesus for Tyson Beckford and Malik Yoba lol
December 13, 2012 10:03 am
Congratulations Claire! You and the FashionBomb squad deserve it! And you SLAYED with your look (PERFECTION!)…Working those blonde dreads, honey!
Blessings!
December 13, 2012 10:05 am
@ Heeba, To notice Claire had sweaty armpits was a reeeeeeaaaach, I still didn’t see it (btw love the hair color Claire). Sessilee Lopez does not need a padded bra. She comfortable with her body. What would you rather see boobies spilling out of her dress?Everyone looked nice!!!
December 13, 2012 10:06 am
CONGRATS!! FASHION BOMB TEAM!!.. I’VE BEEN AN AVID READER TO THIS SITE FOR YEARS.. LOVE YOUR SITE.
December 13, 2012 10:10 am
Thanks everyone!
@Heeba Yes, I was sweating. It was hot. That’s why you see my arms down in 95% of the pix (not with my hands on my hips as I tend to do). I’m human! Not trying to act like I’m a celebrity or even remotely perfect… I’m really just a writer who happens to love fashion.
Love yous and thanks for your kind words. x
December 13, 2012 10:24 am
Claire that platinum has changed my life!!! I am so girl crushing you. How amazing did you look…kudos to the change and that dark lip looks good. Makes me want to do something different.
December 13, 2012 10:25 am

Congrats Claire! TFB To infinity and beyond..no? lol
December 13, 2012 10:36 am
So everyone is going to ignore the fact Al Reynolds looks like he shopped in Macy’s juniors department. For girls.
Other than that, its always great to see people acknowledged for their work- especially when its a positive reflection of out community!
December 13, 2012 10:39 am

I normally dont post comments, but this needed to be said….. CLAIRE YOU LOOK AMAZING…. OMG. you always look good, dont get me wrong.. but girl… you took my breath away.

Congrats on the award (you most certainly deserve> and congrats on showing up and showing OUT!
December 13, 2012 11:48 am
Congrats to Claire and the FBD team. I am on this site everyday, constantly refreshing, waiting anxiously for another post (yes, I do have a job…lol). But you guys do an amazing job and it Iisgreat that you are being rewarded for your hard work, time and dedication. Big things for 2013.

CLAIRE!
CLAIRE!!
CLAIRE!!!

you betta work Glamazon! ;-D
December 13, 2012 12:09 pm
Congratulations Claire! Very well deserved! You look great! Love love love the hair color and your make-up was beat. Jennifer Williams’ dress is cute. I can never make Zara dresses work for me in the breast area. Always too tight. I hope you gave her some shoe suggestions…there’s more to pumps than CL as that’s all I ever see her in. Lol! Cliche and Faith look super cute and dressed for the occasion as well.
December 13, 2012 12:18 pm
CONGRATULATIONS. Sidebar: I never noticed how stunning Claire is, you are sooo pretty!
December 13, 2012 12:19 pm
Hi Everyone, thanks so much for your wonderful comments! My dress is from Plenty by Tracy Reese and my booties are available for purchase here: http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=361265883&pid=uid9281-2485591-53&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget
December 13, 2012 12:26 pm
@thetruth. my top is from Zara, ofc bc I’m addicted
@JJ I’m actually loling right now at your comment. (PS my dad also thinks it’s hilarious!) You’re right haha. Sorry, I was too busy steeping tea with Sess and Jenn and ki ki-ing with Tyson to be that worried about my ‘fit! lol… but yes, I’m notorious for being more laid back at events bc I’m a nerd and also a lazy dresser (a fashion writer is a lazy dresser… it’s more common than you think lol). ;)
also wasn’t expecting to take pictures… but our dear Ms. Sulmers often springs it up on me hah! xx
December 13, 2012 12:26 pm
@Claire you look absolutely beautiful….as stated by many before, your hair and makeup were definitely flawless that night
@Faith love your hair!
December 13, 2012 12:36 pm
You look awesome, Claire. Congrats!
December 13, 2012 12:36 pm
I’m not a great fan of blue, so i don’t really love the dress, but the accesoiries, and the make-up! BAM YOU DID IT!
You all deserve this sooooo much, you’re the best, most fun fashion blog I ever came across. I promise to stay a tight reader every day !
December 13, 2012 12:57 pm

December 13, 2012 1:02 pm
@Jihan awww I made dad giggle too;) loling at nerd and lazy dresser…on that note you do caj chic well shuga…again you all look fab:)
December 13, 2012 1:03 pm
Was there no dress code for this event? Everyone (celebrities, honorees…) looks like they are going to a different event.
I really want to see Jihan step it up just once at one of these things. Some makeup, a to-die-for outfit. Something!
December 13, 2012 1:03 pm
Congrats Claire! I just started reading your blog this year after finding out about it on Rip the Runway and I am hooked and have gotten others hooked as well. Question: Who were you wearing?

December 13, 2012 1:09 pm
Congratulations Claire! You are most deserving and you looked fab! And what I most admire about you *tears* is your self control in not groping Mr. Tyson Beckford when you had a clear opportunity….lol
Blessings
